Oil pressure sensor with male connector?

Hello, my oil pressure sensor behind the distributor seems to have a male connector, I’m trying to buy a new sensor but everyone I see needs a female connector,

is it possible the old piece off the sensor is stuck in the connector? I tried pulling it out but it wouldn’t budge, don’t wanna break it.

also any idea what that other connector goes to?

Top picture is the sender for the oil pressure gauge or idiot light. Use to have a spade male connector.
look at the female end for broken piece. The 2 prong is ops ps135 standard motor products.

so the male connector is normal? I don’t see anything broken. Also did these cars come with the wiring for that but not use it? Cause that 2 prong one was never hooked up.

thanks again your always a big help.

Not having the 2 prong one hooked up will cause harder starts.
there are 2 ops gauge senders one for 60 psi max gauge and one for 80.
